Road handling at low speeds i can feel it. Higher speed is not noticeable and handling is superb. I ride with ear plugs and can hear tire noise slightly but not enough for me to notice of I do not listen out for it.

Now let's see what km I can get on them.

Freedom is when you get to a T-junction and think to yourself.AAAAAAAAAAAAGH I think I'll go left.

My Motaz rear is about 70% cooked after about 4000km.I did trash it a bit with lots of high speed km.

My thinking was that I have to look at the price for the tyre. I still commute and these are obviously more 20/80 than 50/50 - leaned towards off road

But - they cost R2999 for the set, which aside from Tourance scrubs, is not beatable

So if I get 8000 on these somehow, its 37.5c per km

If I go get say the K60s they would have to give me 11,000kms to be equivalent.

I am more just looking forward to seeing how these do on dirt, even if that exposure is sadly limited for me. I just really hate taking a "dirt" dual purpose tyre like the Scorpion Trail or somethinig offroad. It instills no confidence and I just find it an utterly shit experience all round. At least now I'll have fun on dirt, and they handle great at speed on Tar. Just at the sacrifice of mileage.

True what you say.The other side of the coin is that, in my case commuting daily, the Motaz front weaves unpleasantly at higher speeds.I've played with tire pressures on the front between 2 and 3 bar, and the result is the same.The Anakee 3's I had on before was absolutely fantastic on tar, but then again I wouldn't want to tour eg. the Tankwa on it.

Guess its a matter of finding the best compromise.I would be keen to hear opinions regarding weaving on other brands.

Try TKC 70. They are good for both. I have 70 on the back and TKC 80 on the front. Very very good combination in my opinion
